RECOGNITION OF NATIONAL TEEN DATING VIOLENCE AWARENESS MONTH
The Morris County Board of Chosen Freeholders issued a proclamation to JBWS and the Morris County Youth Shelter in Recognition of Teen Dating Violence Awareness Month. Pictured (l-r) are Juli Harpell-Elam, JBWS Coordinator of Project Prevention; Jennifer Carpinteri, Social Service Coordinator for Morris County Juvenile Facilities; Jill Cerullo, Deputy Director of Morris County Youth Shelter and JBWS executive director Patty Sly.
A teen from the Morris County Youth Shelter places handcrafted heart stickers on the Freeholder board members while a proclamation is presented by Freeholder Director Gene Feyl. Following the meeting, the youth walked around the administrative building handing out stickers for county employees to wear on their sleeves. These "conversation hearts" increased awareness and helped people to begin conversations about this important issue.
